Ian W Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 can you still hear the motor? if so you can get away with just buying a new mast mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Just got one for my brother in laws Celica £32.00 inc delivery from http://www.cpc.co.uk Fits a Supra too. You could try the mast but 99% not succesful, here is how to change mast (if you can be bothered) 1. take top nut off Aerial , power up and retreive mast 2. Leave radio on and reinsert mast and gear strap and get a friend to turn the radio off, let the mast be drawn into the aerial case 3. re fit nut to be honest just fit a new Aerial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 My mast was recently stuck up, evertime i turned the stereo on it would make horrid wurring noises like it was trying to pull it up and down. Got a new mast, £30 from Toyota, which included the plastic teeth part and all is now sorted. Very easy job to do, but ideally you need two people to do it.

blitz supra Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 99% not successful?? you sure about that or do you have shares in an aerial making company? Sacasim is the lowest form of wit... Read the threads about people getting fed up with these types quips.. The guy is asking for help with his Aerial Advice given and had a pm from him, i've given him a link to buy the Aerial cheaply so to save him some money, ok Yes you are lucky very lucky if you get away with just replacing the mast, years of experience in the trade and from experience you usually end up buying a new Aerial , In this case help has been given so he can buy one at a fraction of Toyota prices So no I haven't got shares in a Aerial Factory.... yawn !!!

Great to hear you were succesful in just replacing the mast, usually the gears in the Aerial get mashed up too. Nice cheap repair for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
